Building a world-class telecoms company
Ooredoo originates from the time when modern day
Qatar was born, with the discovery of oil, and the
demand for infrastructure that followed. The public
telephone service was inaugurated in 1953, with
a capacity of 150 lines, and in 1987 Qatar
Telecom (Qtel) was established to develop a
modern telecoms infrastructure.
Mirroring the growth and development of Qatar,
Ooredoo has grown from its origins as a small local
company, to one of the fastest-growing telecoms
companies in the world, with an impressive 150
million customers across its footprint. It operates in
ten countries, delivering world-class infrastructure and
innovative products that allow people around the world
to access state-of-the-art technologies.
Today, Ooredoo is Qatar’s leading communications
company, delivering mobile, fixed and broadband
internet and corporate managed services tailored to the
needs of consumers and businesses. As a community-
focused company, Ooredoo is guided by its vision of
enriching people’s digital lives and its belief that it can
stimulate human growth by leveraging communications
to help people achieve their full potential.
